Jeremy Maclin – WR

Projection: 6 Catches for 70+ yards and 1 TD

I have been saying for a while now that Fantasy Football owners should hold off on Kansas City Chiefs receiver Jeremy Maclin until he had a solid day. Well, that solid day came last week against the Titans. So, true to my word, I am no ready to advise using him. Even though the Chiefs are taking on a strong secondary with the Broncos, I think this plays well for Maclin.

The Chiefs offense should be able to set the tempo against a Broncos defense that struggles in the middle. While Denver does feature some solid corners, KC will have the ability to move Jeremy Maclin around to get favorable match ups. He is going to have some solid opportunities to make plays this week.

Jeremy Maclin could be a strong candidate for a late season addition for fantasy owners. That is especially true with the Chiefs having to win their remaining games. Many other teams will likely be shutting down star players to avoid injuries in meaningless games. So check your match ups. Maclin could also be an advantage to have in DFS leagues.
